“A Powerful Return to Raccoon City”: Critics Praise Resident Evil Requiem

The game is scheduled to launch on February 27 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and the Switch 2.

On February 25, the initial wave of reviews for Resident Evil Requiem began surfacing online. Critics are hailing the title as the definitive peak of everything Capcom has achieved with the Resident Evil franchise over the past thirty years.

Reviewers have particularly highlighted the game’s narrative framework, which revolves around two starkly different protagonists. While some commentators noted that Leon’s action-heavy sequences might not resonate with everyone, Grace’s chapters stay true to classic survival horror, maintaining a constant state of suspense and psychological dread.

At the time of publication, Resident Evil Requiem holds an impressive 90 on OpenCritic and an 88 on Metacritic.
